Some parts made it back from the powder shop. I forget the color but I like the way it looks. Some more parts got dropped off today & some are getting plated.
My rear axles I have were c/rusty & painted up thick. I'm working on getting them pulled apart now. One hub was heavily rusted so I soaked it in vinager for 24hrs. It cleaned up good then I soaked it in marvelous mystery oil, it came apart real easy. The is hub is still stuck, it's been soaking in oil for a while, im keeping pressure on it in my press.
The Tecates may get completed a little later than I would like. Mainly because I have started work on my newly acquired 74 Barracuda.

I finally got my rusty rear axles taken apart! The wheel hub & nut were rusted very badly, I wish I had a before pic. I soaked it in vinager for 2 days cleaning it after 24hrs. Used a wire brush & paper towels to get the grime off and kept soaking them.
I also soaked a bunch of springs washers & nuts & bolts too. These items can now be sent to the metal finisher for plating. I visited a few metal finishers locally- they did not want to help me out. There excuse was in the past customers were unhappy with the results & it would take too much time to clean the threads....etc... Etc...
I contacted FlyingW on the boards here & he's going to help me get my parts replated!
Now I can get the rear carriers powder coated along with 3 swing arms!

No they are not.
If you take the entire system they can be swapped however.
You'll need the shock and the link system to make the swap.

I had a metal finisher do these parts - cost me $400.00! They turned out prett good. I wanted to plate the foot pegs because powder coat on my other pegs get worn off pretty fast. It looks I like the shop lost one of my seat u bolt fastners... I'll call them in the morning. That is an 85 Tecate grab bar, I tried my 85 6 pack rack & it does not work with the fenders- just does not look good at all.
They would finish all my bolts, washers & springs for $2,000.00!
I can staple one seat cover on, I hope they can find my other u bolt!

When they say clean the parts, are they talking some kind of chemical cleaning after the wire wheel or tumbler media cleaning? .....confused.
I think the silver was the right choice from the yellow I have seen in photos here. Sweet.

If you are telling me the pic you posted is what you had plated for $400 we really need to talk, that's horrible man, I live in downtown chicago, where prices are high, I had every nut and bolt off of an 86 Tecate plated for $200 plus the front and rear brake rotor, chain hub, rear brake hub, axle, all axle hardware. plus rear rim hubs, front axle god knows what else...I had a metal finisher do these parts - cost me $400.00!
